"I got punched in the face and I punched him back," Thompson confessed during the emotional interview. The 31-year-old explained how years of being targeted finally came to a head during his school days.
Years of Torment
Thompson described a sustained campaign of bullying that left deep emotional scars: "I was bullied for years and years and years. It was awful." The TV personality didn't specify his exact age during the incident but painted a vivid picture of the constant harassment he endured.
A Turning Point
The physical confrontation marked a significant moment in Thompson's life. While he doesn't condone violence, he acknowledged how standing up for himself changed the dynamic: "After that, they didn't bully me as much."
Mental Health Impact
The experience clearly left lasting effects, with Thompson admitting: "It's made me quite an angry person." His honest account sheds light on how childhood bullying can shape personality and mental health well into adulthood.
